Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Rolls
- 18–20 frozen pizza rolls, kept frozen
- Vegetable oil for frying (enough to submerge rolls)
Garlic Butter
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
Toppings
- Grated Parmesan cheese, generous amount to coat pizza rolls
- Dry basil or parsley, to taste
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: Pour enough vegetable oil into a saucepan to fully submerge the pizza rolls. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it is hot and ready for frying.
- Deep Fry Pizza Rolls: Carefully place the frozen pizza rolls into the hot oil and deep fry them for 3 minutes until they are golden and crispy.
- Drain Excess Oil: Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried pizza rolls from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess grease.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic, stirring well to blend the flavors.
- Coat Pizza Rolls: Transfer the drained pizza rolls into a large mixing bowl. Pour the garlic butter over the rolls and toss carefully to coat every piece evenly.
- Add Parmesan and Basil: Generously sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and dry basil or parsley over the coated pizza rolls. Mix gently with a spatula to ensure all the rolls are well covered.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the Garlic Parmesan Pizza Rolls hot and crispy for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Can pizza rolls be cooked in the air fryer? Yes, set the air fryer to 380°F and cook pizza rolls for 6-8 minutes until hot and crispy.
- Best dips for pizza rolls include additional garlic butter, marinara sauce, buffalo sauce, and ranch dip or dressing.
